Problem

Hi,

I've downloaded RW, but when I click the exe, a dos windows popups, then the firewall say the program tries to connect to GarageGames (and in the taskbar appears the icon of Torque). Nothing happens: the win freezes. How to use RW?

Cya.

Have you looked at the console.log file? It mostlikely says what is wrong. If not post the last few lines here and I am sure someone will be able to help you.

Hi Dan,

these are the last lines of the log.

Missing file: rw/client/scripts/teamStatus.cs!
Loading compiled script rw/client/scripts/message.cs.
Loading compiled script rw/client/scripts/default.bind.cs.
Loading compiled script rw/client/scripts/inventory.cs.
Loading compiled script rw/client/config.cs.
Binding server port to default IP
UDP initialized on port 0

I match "missing file" but what is that?

Cya.

So there weren't any errors in the log other than the missing script file (the .cs are script files)

I am not sure what the teamStatus.cs is, but it shouldn't be the cause of your woes. (as far as I know)

So, one should wait some 3 minutes or so, in order to get loaded the game, or what? The "dos" window remained open and "freezed" for long time.

The first time you start a brand new game if you have the script sources all the .cs and .gui files are compiled.

As a result the first time the game loads it may take longer than normal. Depending on your system and what other things you have running at the time it could take a minute or two. Thereafter only those script files which have changed are recompiled so it should be faster.

If the firewall pops up are you allowing Torque to connect? cause if your firewall is anything like ZoneAlarm your program will be blocked until you respond.

The firewall is Sygate, and yes, I allow it to connect.
